UK Employers Say Workers Are ‘Concerned’ For Their Jobs Following Brexit

Misconception that larger businesses are more ‘Brexit proof’ could see some small business employees switch jobs

70% of UK employers have received concerns from workers over their job security following the UK’s decision to leave the EU, according to a report by CIPD.

The survey of 387 UK employers, which asked ‘Is the Brexit decision affecting your staff’s sense of job security?’, revealed that 36% of business owners have received enquiries from staff about the future of their role.

Another 36% of businesses owners confirmed that non-EU staff have expressed concerns about their right to work in the UK.

The report also hinted that a misconception that larger businesses will be more ‘Brexit proof’ and remain more secure through economic uncertainty is likely to see an increase in small business employees looking for other jobs.
